The school is an English medium school. In 2011-12 the number of pupils on roll was 1638 A2 (A Level) Year 13 compared with 1636 in 2010-2011. Pass rate A* - E 98% Pass rate A* - A 44% including Welsh Baccalaureate, 25% without it. The great majority of Year 13 completed the Welsh Baccalaureate qualification alongside their A levels. The A2 results were in line with recent years. Key Points from the full Report Following the positive Estyn re-inspection in June 2010, and a successful whole School Review by the local authority in June 2011, the school monitored and evaluated its own performance during 2011-12, completing the second year of a cycle of departmental reviews and preparations for updating and rewriting the School’s Self-Evaluation report. The number of primary feeder schools increased from 6 to 7 as the school welcomed pupils from the Llanedeyrn area into Years 7 and 8 as well as significant numbers into other year groups. A small number of the current Llanedeyrn High School Year 9 pupils will join Year 10 in September 2013, when that year group is discontinued at Llanedeyrn. The investment in the school's buildings linked to expansion of the catchment area is progressing, with work on the extension and refurbishment of the Learning Resource Centre (library), rebuilding of the Sports Hall and the building of a new block for Design Technology. All of these are scheduled to be completed in 2012-13. Further improvements will follow in 2013-14. The school continues to develop its curriculum so as to include and meet the learning needs of all students. Following the introduction of the Welsh Baccalaureate and the Year 7 transition project the school is planning some slight changes to the KS3 curriculum and changes to increase the flexibility of learning pathways in Years 10 and 11. These changes will be introduced in 2013-14. 2011-12 was the first year in which the school had its own in-house Attendance Officer. This has helped efforts to maximise pupil attendance and builds on previous measures to improve communication with parents such as the expansion of the Pupil Support team, parental access to E-Portal allowing parents protected on-line access to data about their sons and daughters, and the establishment of a Parent Focus group. Parental feedback indicates communication with parents is a very positive feature of the school. We have continued to make significant improvements to the school environment which are making a noticeable difference to the quality of the learning environment. The PE changing rooms were refurbished in 2010, the East wing hall and tower in 2011 and the “new” block for Geography and RE in 2012. Also in 2012 a new picnic area was been provided for pupils as a result of an initiative by the School Council, supported by the PTA. The Welsh Government's scheme for banding secondary schools came into operation in late 2011. The school was placed in band 2 (band 1 is the highest). However it will be difficult to maintain this in the 2012 exercise because the model builds in a year on year progress weighting. The level 2 threshold, (5 GCSEs or equivalent at or above grade C) at 74% whilst the second best the school has every achieved was down from our achievement of 80% in 2011. The level 1 threshold (5 GCSEs or equivalent) at 98% was the best ever recorded; as were the Key Stage 3 outcomes. Attendance rose to 93.6%, the highest the school has ever recorded, but short of the 2011-12 target of 94%. The school needs support from parents to secure this improvement. During 2011-12, in line with local authority policy, the Governing Body took the decision that the school should no longer authorise absence for holidays in term time. During the year the school leadership prepared for the changes flowing from the creation in Autumn 2013 of the new South Central Consortium, which is charged by the Welsh Government with providing the support and challenge to schools hitherto provided by individual local authorities. The key relationship is with the Systems Leader, Robert Cornelius, whose responsibilities include Llanishen High School.

  • Cardiff Council Cyngor Caerdydd Cabinet Meeting: 6
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD CABINET MEETING: 6 DECEMBER 2012 DELIVERY OF ESOL AND BASIC SKILLS – OFFER FROM CARDIFF AND VALE COLLEGE. REPORT OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AGENDA ITEM: 6 PORTFOLIO: EDUCATION AND LIFE LONG LEARNING Reason for this Report 1. To consider in detail the offer from the Cardiff and Vale College for it to manage and deliver the ESOL and Basic Skills Programmes in Cardiff. 2. The College has offered to take back the franchised ESOL and Basic Skills programme from January 2013 this report provides a detailed analysis of how that transfer would take place and identifies the implications. Background 3. In 1992, following the incorporation of FE Colleges, Post 16 funding was transferred from Local Authorities (LAs) back to the then Welsh Office. The Welsh Office distributed this funding to FE Colleges who in turn entered franchise arrangements with LAs for the delivery of Basic Skills and Essential Skills, including English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Learning. At the time, this franchise arrangement involved separate agreements with Barry College and Coleg Glan Hafren. 4. Basic Skills and ESOL funding has continued to be delivered by the Council via a franchise agreement with the new Cardiff and Vale College with a current annual value of £1.9m. 5. In September 2012, the Cardiff and Vale College (CAVC) formally wrote to the Council offering to deliver the ESOL and Adult Basic Skills programmes in partnership with the Council. In October 2012, the Cabinet received a report examining the initial offer and agreed that officers would continue to work with the college to formulate a final business case for these programmes for consideration in December 2012.
